I was offered a used istDS today, and the camera has 10,000+ exposures on it. Seems to me about average for a 1yo camera - yes, no? What percentage of the camera's useful life may gone. Is there some number that Pentax uses for the camera's life expectancy? Is the istDS one of those 50,000 exposure wonders, or can one reasonably expect 100,000 or more exposures? Does anyone have close to 100,000 exposures on their Pentax DSLR?
The other thing is that the owner says it only shows 2300 or so exposures. How can that be? Is there a way to reset the exposure counter, such as when the camera is being repaired (perhaps if something was replaced or damaged) , or by the user when fooling around with things? Shel
